I had such a wonderful time shooting these kimono portraits for Shirley's family! Everyone looked absolutely amazing in these traditional Japanese costumes, and I could tell that just wearing them while exploring part of the city puts one in a special, peaceful kind of mood. Thank you so much, Shirley! It was an honor to be your family's photographer and capture these memories of your Tokyo visit :)

The beautiful rental kimonos for this photoshoot were provided by Kimono Sakaeya near Harajuku station! They have a Facebook page as well. For those looking for reasonable, authentic kimono rental in Tokyo, feel free to visit the Kimono Sakaeya website and contact Ms. Kahori K Ochi, who is very friendly and speaks English as well!
